Doo Lough (Irish: Dúloch) is a freshwater lake in the west of Ireland. It is located in southwest County Mayo on the Murrisk peninsula.
Doo Lough measures about 4 km (2.5 mi) long and 1 km (0.6 mi) wide. It lies about 30 km (19 mi) southwest of Westport near the village of Delphi.
Doo Lough is one of a set of connected lakes near Delphi. Glencullin Lough flows into Doo Lough, which in turn flows into Fin Lough via the Owengarr River. Fin Lough in turn drains into Killary Harbour via the Bundorragha River.
Fish species in Doo Lough include brown trout, sea trout, perch, salmon, Arctic char, three-spined stickleback and the critically endangered European eel. The lake is part of the Mweelrea/Sheeffry/Erriff Complex Special Area of Conservation.
